Chapter 72: Not An Inconvenience
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Exactly. She’s too disgusting. Only that Bai Qinghao could be blind enough to treasure her!” This had been her second sister’s voice.
“She’s really a pile of trash, a complete waste of space!” Fang Lilan’s tone had been vicious. However, she had been alert and quickly noticed Fang Xinxin’s presence.
Fang Xinxin recalled how she was completely dumbstruck at that moment.
She had always loved her mother and second sister deeply. To think that they would talk about her in this manner.
“Mom, it turns out that in your heart, I’m trash and a waste of space!” At the time, she had raged in heartache. “Don’t forget though that all the power and wealth that you own today, was given by me.”
“Tsk. What do you have to do with the Fang family’s power? Stop putting on airs. You know better than anyone how useless you are. If I were you, I would already have killed myself.” Fang Manxue had been unapologetic after being seen through. Instead, she mocked her further.
At the time, her mother’s usually warm expression had also turned cold. She did not say a single word to comfort her.
In fact, she had told her that a married daughter was akin to water that had been splashed onto the ground. Her life and death was unrelated to the Fang family henceforth.
By then, Bai Qinghao was no longer giving her much, due to his fear of her giving it away to her mother and second sister. Fang Lilan could no longer obtain any benefits from her and was uninterested in maintaining the facade of loving her.
Afterwards, she did not stay in the Fang home and returned to the Yu Ting Villa.
In her misery, she had learned that, when she was at her wit’s end, the only person she could still rely on was, Bai Qinghao.
Fang Xinxin returned to the present and pushed Fang Lilan away. “Don’t hug me. The Commander will laugh at us.”
Since the moment Fang Lilan entered, she had noticed Bai Qinghao seated on the sofa.
Although she had pretended to be warm towards Fang Xinxin, she could not be bothered to hold her.
She had only forced herself to do so to put on a show of ‘deep feelings between mother and daughter’ for the Commander.
This was to encourage him to care more for the Fang family.
“It’s true.” A loving expression appeared on Fang Lilan’s face. “Our Xinxin is already nineteen years old, yet she seems like a child that won’t grow up.”
Her performance depicted a loving mother that doted on Fang Xinxin to the extreme.
Fang Lilan glanced at Bai Qinghao who was reading a newspaper.
She was his future mother-in-law. No matter what, he still needed to stand up and greet her, didn’t he?
However, Bai Qinghao was a cold and ruthless man and his actions never fulfilled anyone’s expectations.
With his position and status, even the president had to give in to him, much less a future mother-in-law.
Even after twenty seconds, he still did not move.
Fang Lilan could only walk up to him. “Qinghao, ah, I didn’t expect you to still be awake at this time.”
She had called his name intimately to remove the distance between them.
In reaction, Bai Qinghao furrowed his brows slightly. His gaze shifted towards Fang Xinxin, as though to give her face. But he did not say a single word in response.
Without Fang Xinxin, it would have been impossible for Fang Lilan to enter the Yu Ting Villa.
Fang Lilan ignored his reaction and said warmly, “Qinghao, our Xinxin has been a guest in your Yu Ting Villa and has disturbed you for so many days. It must have been a great inconvenience.”
Guest... inconvenience.
Her words of appreciation were in fact meant to draw a clear line between Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao.
In her previous life, Fang Xinxin had finally understood that her mother intended to separate Bai Qinghao and herself, and to help Fang Manxue marry Bai Qinghao instead.
Bai Qinghao was an intelligent man. He naturally understood Fang Lilan’s hidden words. He spoke up coldly. “It isn’t an inconvenience. Fang Xinxin is my fiancée. This is her home.”
